ODS Wiki Cluster Settings

From your ODS Wiki instance UI-> Cluster Settings you can perform different customizations.

Tab Preferences

Virtual Host Settings

Index Page: When creating a new ODS Wiki instance, the main Wiki article is created with the name "WelcomeVisitors".
From the Index page you can change this name.

Look and Feel

Primary Skin: You can choose from the list box among predefined templates.
For reference see ODS wiki templates.

Secondary Skin and VHost Regular Expression: you can set your wiki instance to have a different view when accessed via a particular URL.
In this case your you need to choose the other skin in Secondary Skin and write a regular expression to match the URL when it's used.

Tab Templates

New Topic: If you want some text to be included in all articles, enter it in this text-area.
As result it will appear in every new article you further create in that cluster (wiki instance), except for category topic.

New Category: If you want some text to be included in all category topics (articles), enter it in this text-area.

Tab Integration

del.icio.us integration: You may have an account in delicious, so if you switch on this feature, all articles containing category names will be bookmarked in your space in del.icio.us and the category names will be added as tags.

Import categories: If checked then for your tags in delicious corresponding category topics will be created in your wiki instance.

Mail Integration: If checked then for each article a mail account will be created and added to the article as relevant link.
To enable this feature you need to have the ods_webmail_dav.vad package installed.

Technorati integration: allows you to subscribe to the Technorati cosmos and quickly get context information on news and events of the day (using TECHNORATI:COSMOS and TECHNORATI:TAG macros)

Conversation (NNTP Integration): transparent integration with NNTP based Discussion Platform for Wiki article discussions.
To enable this feature you need to have the ods_discussions_dav.vad package installed.

When this feature is enabled, for every article you can click the "Conversations" link and post your comments.
As result you can view them also from ODS->Discussions->[your Wiki instance shown as Newsgroup].

Tab Upstreams

Upstream Configuration: if you want to make a mirror of your articles to some other wiki instance you specify it in a upstream:

Name: the name of the upstream;

URL: the remote ODSWiki Atom endpoint for the target wiki instance;

User: the name of user with write permissions on the target wiki instance;

Password: the password of that user.

The changes you make to the articles in the current wiki instance are automatically mirrored (transferred) every 5 minutes to the instances declared in the upstreams.
If some error occurs during upstreaming, it will be shown in the error log entries by clicking the "Edit" button for the relevant upstream.
Immediate upstreaming is performed from the link "Upstream now" at the bottom of the article's view page.
